The Alpine Obituary

The Alpine Obituary

From USA Today and Seattle Times bestselling author Mary Daheim comes the newest Pacific Northwest crime novel starring the indefatigable newspaper editor-publisher Emma Lord.

THE ALPINE OBITUARY

Not even in Alpine, Washington, could the death of octogenarian Jack Froland be considered big newsâ€”except by his drinking buddies at Mugs Ahoy. But that suddenly changes when in the middle of his funeral, Jackâ€™s widow hysterically insists that he was murdered.

Emma Lord, publisher of The Alpine Advocate, who is already investigating a threatening letter received by the townâ€™s beautiful blonde judge, now suspects she has two hot stories to unravel. Backed by her House and Home editor, that bottomless repository of scandal, Vida Runkel, she prepares for a triple-threat special: murder, blackmail, andâ€”as wildfire sweeps the mountainsideâ€”possible arson as well. But success will not come cheap. With a killer roaming the woods, it may cost Emma her life. . . .

In The Alpine Obituary Mary Daheim demonstrates once again why she is a nationally bestselling author acclaimed for her â€œsmoothly readable styleâ€ (Ellery Queenâ€™s Mystery Magazine) and her â€œwitty one-liners and amusing characterizationsâ€ (Publishers Weekly).
